A sweeping, authoritative portrait of interior design today—revealing the homes, voices, and visions shaping how we live now.

This expansive volume is a panoramic survey of the most influential interiors of our time, opening doors to houses that define taste, set direction, and embody the art of living beautifully.

Organized alphabetically, it moves effortlessly from one distinctive world to the next. Readers encounter the refined classicism of Alidad, the architectural poetry of Gil Schafer, the cultivated restraint of Rose Uniacke, the soulful warmth of Bobby McAlpine, and the singular visions of designers such as Carolina Irving, Remy Renzullo, and Robert Kime—among many others.

For more than three decades, Upton’s trusted eye has granted him rare access to extraordinary private interiors across the globe. Drawing on long-standing relationships and unparalleled insight, this volume captures these spaces with intimacy and emotional depth.

Lavishly illustrated and global in scope, the book stands as both a definitive directory of today’s most important interiors and a lasting record of where design is headed.
